This is a cultural and humanitarian project. The subject of the competition: peace, solidarity, humanity.

The aim of the project :to continue the tradition of the international annual drawing competition (since 2015) and to include in the Competition the representatives of different countries, nations, ethnicities, races, genders, religions, state of health (including handicapped children) and create among them the spirit of brotherhood, solidarity, friendship and humanity. The aim is to establish a cultural and humanitarian dialogue between children of different countries and religions on the subject of Peace and Good. This contest is a powerful symbol, a call for peace by the voice of children in a language understood by all: drawing.

Deontology: Our competition is apolitical. In the current geopolitical context, it is important for us to educate children on the themes of solidarity and friendship. So we work with them and with their parents in the name of the values of peace. The partners of the competition are companies and people who show enthusiasm for this promising project.

The reward ceremony takes place every year in May in Paris.
In 2016 it took place in the Senate (Luxembourg garden)
In 2017 it took place in the French National Assembly (Bourbon Palace)
